If you identify yourself in a different gender than the one stated on your documents, the University ensures the use of a different name through the activation of an “alias” identity.

With the “alias” identity, you will receive a provisional identity that cannot be consolidated until any final ruling by the relevant authority. To protect your privacy, it will not be possible in any way to trace your name and gender. To this end, the new personal information is incorporated into all the student career management systems of the university, including the badge and e-mail account.

You can request the activation of an “alias” identity after completing your enrolment at Politecnico. This profile will remain active for the entire duration of your studies unless you ask for its termination or for causes connected to violations of obligations (as stated in the Guidelines for the Activation and Management of Alias Identities for the community of Politecnico).

Please note that you are allowed to use your “alias” identity exclusively in relation to your student career. The “alias” identity is governed by a specific agreement between you and Politecnico di Torino.

If you wish to  request the activation of an “alias” identity, please follow the procedure illustrated in the Guidelines for the Activation and Management of Alias Identities for the community of Politecnico before the following deadlines: 

First semester: 4/10/2024

Second semester: 04/04/2025
